Clasped hands there are that hold part

Not as love-g gift lightly bought
In noisy mart with careless mind,
To please some frivolous heart inclined
To ways that know serious thought!
But earnestly, as one whose soul
Yearns for the solace of the few
Whose faith hath opened to their view
The mystery of the hidden scroll.

God grant that grief may long forbear
To throw his ancient shadow where
Thy footway leads thro' howery years.
But when the pleasures fail and fall
Like petals strewn by some rude hand,

Heed thou thy tender mothers call.

Weak tears that break the guarded way,
But in thy chamber. kneoling, pray.

TWO THEATRICAL STARS.
The Debut of Mrs. James Brown Potter-The
Secret of Mrs. Langtrys Success.

Special to the indianapolis Journal
NEW YORK. Nov. 5.-'Have you been to the
beauty showl" is what they say now. when what
is meant is have you been to see Mrs. James
Brown Potter display her respectable mediocrity
of talent and warmth of physical charm upon
the stage?
AS an ex-amateur Mrs. Potter challenges com
parison with Mrs. Laugtry, of course She is
woman of slghter physical proportions than
Mrs Langtry. and looks much smaller and less
warmly beautiful upon the stage. She has
figure and face expressive of refinement and
good breeding and is full of grace-in drawing
room. Can she act? What a question. She
has beautiful gowns. Is she beautiful herselfl
Certainly she is, in a way, but there are many
more beautiful women the stage who can act
TO boot. She may develop talent. Indeed, it
is not unlikely that with practice sine

there, and If the arlstocratic tribe of Porters
and their kin applauded the reverse. They
had been trying to find out if her cousins had
called on her, and would at least if they

Revenge.

Revenge is a naked sword
It has neither hilt nor guard.
Would'st thou WELD this brand of the Lord:
Is thy grasp then firm and hard2
But the closer thy clutch of the blade,
The deadlier blow thou would st deal,
Deeper wound in thy hand is made
It is thy blood reddens the steel.
And when thou hast dealt the blow
When the blade from thy hand has flown
Instead of the heart of the foe
Thou may'st find it sheathed in thine own!

Advice to a Bow.

Get away from the crowd a little
while every day, my boy. Stand one
side and let the world run by while
you get acquainted with yourself;
and see what kind of fellow you
are. Ask yourself hard questions
about yourself; find out all you can
about yourself. Ascertain from orig
inal sources if you are really the
manner of man people say you are;
find out if you are always honest; If
you always tell the square perfect
truth in business deals if your life
is as good and upright at II o'clock
at night as it is at noon; if you are
as sound temperance man on fish
ing expedition as you are at Sum
day School picnic; if you are as good
a boy when you go to Chicago as you
are at home if, in short, you really
are the sort of young man your
father hopes you are, your mother
says you are and your sweetheart be-
lieves you are. Get on intimate
terms with yourself, my boy, and,
believe me, every time you come out
from one of these private interviews
you will be stronger, better, purer
man. DON'T forget this, Telemachus.
and it will do you good.

A well-to-do widow living in the
northern part of the city depended
solely upon the sun to clear her walks
of snow, and the boys with snow
shovels and policemen with notices
failed to alter her programme. One
day after the big storm there was a
drift foot deep in front of her house,
and boy with innocent blue eyes
and fiaxen hair rang the bell and
brought her down the hall at trot,
"Does the Widder---live here?"
he asked. as she opened the door.
She said she was the person named,
and he continued:

"Yes'm. He's got big gold

and gold-headed cane, and | heard
him ask the clerk if you were mar

"Yes'm, and when the clerk told
him no. he asked for the number of
your house and heard him say some
about old -graves-graves-
collectiOn-big house on Fifth ave-
nue., New York, and he sighed. 1

"Who can it be-who can it be ?"
she unused,
"Hain't the least idea. He doesn't
look as if he was used to wading
through the snow, and 1 thought l
would slip over and clean up your
walks"
Yes-ah-of course wait min
ute, bub."
She ran and got a silver quarter,
patted him on the head and went in
to get on her best clothes. She didn't
see the boy any more, and at FIVE
O'Clock in the ternoOn she was still
looking over toward Woodward ave-

Senator RIair's Pension Bill.


WASHINGTON, Dec. pat the
request of the Union Veteran Army
of the Pepuhlic," Senator Blair to-
day introduced bill making com
prehensive changes In the pension
laws. The bill practically removes
the limitation of the arrears OF PEN
sion act, and makes the fact Of enlist
ment into the service of the United
States evidence of physical soundness
at the time of enlistment. 1t author
ICES the Secretary of the Interior to
reopen all cases denied on the ground
of the lack of proof of physical sound
ness at the time of enlistment. 1t
enlarges the classes Of persons to be
entitled to the benefits of the pension
laws, so as to include all who may
have been disabled while actually en-.
gagged in services of the United States
of military nature, whether they
were mustered in or not. 1t also
grants a pension to all female nurses
in the late war who shall have arriv-
ed at the age of so years and are
without the means of comfortable
support. 1t provided that there shall
be two class, of pensionable disa-
bilities-viz,, specific and non-spe-
sific. A non-specific disability is de.
fined as one the nature and degree of
which cannot be determined without
the aid of evidence or of medical
examination. The pensionable dis
abilities are graded from one to
twenty, according to the degree of
injury incurred. The rate of pension
for minor children is increased from
81 to S. per month. The pension
office is required to give every claim-
ant ten days notice of the time and
place of any special examination in
to tire merits of his claim, or of any
inquiry by letter to postmaster or the
neighbors of the claimant concerning
his disability or credibility, or the
credibiIity of his witnesses. The pen
sion Office is debarred from receiving
Information under an agreement to
conceal the source or subject matter
from the applicant. 1t is made I'M
lawful to reject claim upon evidence
secured by secret investigation, or
because the records of the War or
Navy Department fail to show the
existence of disease, wound or in
jury. 1t is also made unlawful to re-
duce pension or strike the name of
a pensioner from the rolls without
giving thirty days. notice to the per-
son affected. When claimant who
is entitled to arrears of pensions dies
before the claim is adjudicated the
widow, minor children and depend
ent relatives shall be entitled to be
subroeated to all the claimants
rights. The bill also corrects wnat
are held to be imperfections in many
minor matters of the present pension
laws. "Such further sum as may be
necessary to pay the pensions gram
ted under the provisions of this act"
is appropriated in addition to the
SIS, 100000 appropriated by the last
pension bill.

Sunday in America.

Sunday has had more value in this
country than merely as day of rest,
1t has been Il pOWerin forming Amer
lean character. 1t has called a pause
TO men in whatever pursuit. 1t has
kept before men always the knowl-
edge of a great authority regulating
their affairs. Those who were brought
up under strict law of what is called
the Puritan Sunday sometimes look
back from early manhood with in
tense dislike to It's iron restraints i'm
posed or the jubiiant spirits of their
youth. But as they grow older and
more thoughtful, they recognize at
least the priceless discipline of the
day. its effect on the formation of
mind, its lessons which hurt so much
in entering that they are never to he
forgotten. No wandering life pre-
walls to lead them away from the eff
fects of those days; nor are there
among the sons of men in this world
of labor and pain any who look back
with such intens eyearning for the
home rest as those men " no out from
the anxieties and agOnies and sins of
mature life, howsoever gided its
surroundings. send longings of heart
to the old firesiIe. where the Bible
was the only Sunday book and the
Pilgrims Progress Was almost the
only weekday fiction.
Scorn it, as may those who never
knew what it was. the Puritan Sun
day made men. thinking men, strong
men. who in the world looked always
to something beyond the approval of
their fellows, felt always thai there
was somewhere some one who knew
what they were in their hearts. 1t
made large part of what is worthy
in our institutions and our men, in
New England and New York, in
Virginia and the CarOlinas, ana
throughout the growing Union.-W.
